   This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. So i had the original Sonic Colours on the Wii played on my Wii U and i loved it back then! And when the remaster still makes me think the same about this game and i really love the new visuals Sonic looks very shiny with the bloom applied and the new additions are cool as well the new customization and the rival rush is really fun!
   Now sadly im stuck with the switch version and its visuals were stripped down all other versions have 4K 60fps while the switch version only allows for 720p 30fps but it still looks great.
   Now the bugs are kinda annoying but i didnt run into too many but you may have a buggier experince so be warned also the seizure bug to avoid it dont switch maps too fast too often as the game get confused wich to textures to load in so it loads in a flickering mess.
   If you have paitince wait for patches if you wanna play it now dont get the switch version so ill give this game an 9/10 still as good as it was.… Expand

Trust me I do, it was my favorite game to play on the Wii back then and I got hyped at the fact that you can now play the game portably on the Nintendo Switch, but there is just so much wrong, it just isn’t acceptable. Despite Nintendo Switch hardware being weaker than other consoles, it is practically stronger than last-gen consoles. Yet, the game is stuck running in 30 FPS and it isn’t even consistent. You’ll sometimes get frame drops when transitioning camera angles. You’d think it would run better, but no. To be fair, it does look better than on Wii hardware, but that’s when the positives end. Load times are also embarrassing! Up to 20 seconds for a level to load! And don’t even get me started with the audio! It’s just a hot mess! Wisp themes won’t play at times when activated and to fix the issue, I would have to pause the game, press the home button, then go back to the game to get it to work properly! The sound effects/audio mixing doesn’t work right either. You’ll hear the music from both left and right channels, but jumping SFX will get all jacked up, moving from one ear to another (noticeable when using headphones or through higher speaker volumes).
   
   As for visual glitches, yes there are game-breaking,” seizure-inducing” glitches and bugs in the game, but I have not experienced any like the ones shown online. As you may have heard, those are caused if you switch between planets over and over again. The only types of visual glitches I would get are the usual falling through platforms and dying ones. Or where Sonic can’t complete a full loop in some areas. Other than that, nothing too severe like the ones shown on the web.
   
   As for new content, there isn’t much. Sure there’s the “options satellite” where you can view your stats and customize Sonic’s appearance, but I didn’t find myself using this as much for these areas, only to access the settings to remap the buttons. The remixed music is alright but I feel it was not necessary to change the originals. However, they still had the original versions of the soundtracks for the last three acts of every planet so I guess I can live with that. The Jade Ghost was also a fun addition to the game, but is only really used to phase through walls to reach red rings or other items. One last thing that ticks me off that I believe should not have been changed, is the underwater drill theme… WHY DID IT HAVE TO BE CHANGED TO THE SONIC LOST WORLD VERSION! It was already fine the way it was in the original game and sounds way better than the lost world version! I know it may seem like something small to everyone else, but to me, it’s one of the aspects that made sonic colors unique compared to the games that came after it.
   
   Other than the obvious issues, this game has a lot of potentials to be better when it gets patched. Hopefully, a stable version of the game will be released soon.… Expand

   In terms of video games, how to be a happy Sonic Fan post Generations.... you can't.

   Since the first trailer this game had already many red flags:Over excessive use of bloom, darks are darker, lights are lighter, the assets were ripped from the wii version, Sonic animations in game are broken, and the use of "Tails Saves". And a later trailer showed off the "Ultimate" version next to the Wii version, either SEGA or Blind Squirrel purposefully made the Wii version look like trash to boost people's interest. Non of the issues present in the trailers have been fixed, even worse is that people's saves are being corrupted and for switch users, seizure inducing glitches. Granted the player has to go out of their way to trigger this visual melt downs. Sometimes the Switch version dips under 15fps. Don't know why the team decided to use a new open source Godot engine for this project. This is supposed to be an ULTIMATE version of a **** Wii game. If you really wanted a better experience for Sonic Colors, play it on Dolphin with 60fps boost. Any modern PC or Phone can run it. SEGA, either put one of your owned studios to work or find a capable company that can deliver on quality. **** hell...
   Listen, going off tangent here, I've been a Sonic fan since 1991, we had our ups and hard downs. But I'm exhausted of SEGA or **** Iizuka lying to us fans. If SEGA hadn't released Maina, that would've been it for a majority of fans. Unleashed was a breath of fresh air, Colors stabilized the foundation, and Generations put the building blocks of what a good Sonic game can be.
   
   Graphics: Cataract and Glaucoma simulator
   Controls: Sonic is literally slower in this version
   Sounds: Too loud
   Music: Originals are 100% better
   Story: Didn't age well
   Added Content: Don't even bother its trash
   
   I paid way to much money for this game, and that's coming from a guy who paid $9 for Forces on launch date.… Expand
